Extreme weather in the Southern Hemisphere in early 2022: from Rossby waves to planetary-scale conditions ...
<!--!introduction!--> In early 2022, several extreme weather events occurred in the Southern Hemisphere. Devastating floods killed more than 500 people in South Africa (11-12 April) and 26 people in eastern Australia (24-28 February and 25-31 March), while an unprecedented heatwave broke tempe...
